- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Construction of New National Children's Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (25 Sep 2024)
Gino Kenny: I thank the board for its presentation, which was very detailed. I am sure the witnesses are extremely frustrated, to say the least, by this soap opera. In the meantime, the taxpayer, everybody in the country, is on the hook for this and there is obviously no hospital. Do the witnesses accept the statement BAM made during the week to the effect that the hospital is 93% complete?

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Construction of New National Children's Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (25 Sep 2024)
Gino Kenny: On the other 10%, what is left to complete the hospital?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Construction of New National Children's Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (25 Sep 2024)
Gino Kenny: None of those are complete or signed off at this moment in time.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Construction of New National Children's Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (25 Sep 2024)
Gino Kenny: In Mr. Devine's opinion, are any of the rooms at any stage where they could be signed off, where we could say they are complete and the construction workers can move on?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Construction of New National Children's Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (25 Sep 2024)
Gino Kenny: Does Mr. Devine envisage that when a tranche of rooms is given the green light it will happen quickly? It will not be a case of a single room being ready for Tuesday. I presume hundreds will be ready.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Construction of New National Children's Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (25 Sep 2024)
Gino Kenny: Those resources are not there, in Mr. Devine's opinion, when it comes to BAM's commitment to signing off on these rooms.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Construction of New National Children's Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (25 Sep 2024)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Construction of New National Children's Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (25 Sep 2024)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Construction of New National Children's Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (25 Sep 2024)
Gino Kenny: I hope this does not happen, but is there a situation where this just goes on and on and the hospital is never finished at the level of final details. While there is intransigence from BAM, could this go on and on until the Government says that if BAM is not going to complete the job it will have to get somebody else in? That would delay the project for years, I assume.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Construction of New National Children's Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (25 Sep 2024)
Gino Kenny: On the claims that are in litigation, there is a concentration of claims. I think 18 was the figure given. What is the dispute between BAM and the State? What is at the heart of that dispute?
